Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of inductors, in particular to a TLVR inductor applied to GPU board lines. Background Art
[0002] There is a kind of Transient Inductive Voltage Regulator (TLVR) inductor applied in the artificial intelligence (AI) computing power card, which is used as the input filter inductor at the front end of the graphics processing unit (GPU) chip core. The stability of the input current voltage directly affects the working efficiency of the chip core, and it has a large power demand and a high working voltage. Traditional TLVR inductors usually use manganese-zinc ferrite to make the magnetic core, which has excellent performance in the low-load state. However, as the load increases, the power loss increases rapidly; the high working voltage will also exceed the surface resistance of the traditional TLVR inductor, posing a risk of conduction short circuit. The above factors lead to the traditional TLVR inductor not meeting the needs of AI computing power cards. Content of the Utility Model
[0003] Aiming at the problems in the prior art solutions that the power loss of the traditional TLVR inductor increases rapidly under high load conditions and there is a risk of short circuit under high working voltage, the utility model provides a TLVR inductor applied to GPU board lines.

[0007] Preferably, the magnetic core includes an I-shaped magnetic core and two U-shaped magnetic cores symmetrically arranged about the central axis of the I-shaped magnetic core.

[0015] The following further describes the embodiments of the present utility model in more detail with reference to the drawings and reference signs, enabling those skilled in the art to implement it after studying this specification. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present utility model and are not used to limit the present utility model.
[0016] The present utility model provides a TLVR inductor applied to a GPU board line, including a first inductor and a second inductor symmetrically arranged about the central axis of the magnetic core 20. Both the first inductor and the second inductor are TLVR inductors, forming a mirror image structure and being coupled to each other. The magnetic cores of the first and second inductors are bonded to form a rectangular magnetic core 20, and two pairs of windings 10 are wound around the magnetic core 20 to form the first and second inductors respectively.
[0017] Specifically, as shown in FIGS. Figure 1 , 2 , the magnetic core 20 includes an I-shaped magnetic core 21 and two U-shaped magnetic cores 22. The two U-shaped magnetic cores 22 are respectively bonded to both sides of the I-shaped magnetic core 21 to form a rectangular structure, having two closed magnetic circuits, which are respectively used as the magnetic cores of the first and second inductors. The two U-shaped magnetic cores share the I-shaped magnetic core as the bottom plate, which can reduce the board occupation space. The two U-shaped magnetic cores 22 are symmetrically arranged about the central axis of the I-shaped magnetic core 21, and the two windows 23 respectively formed by the two U-shaped magnetic cores 22 and the I-shaped magnetic core 21 are respectively located on both sides of the I-shaped magnetic core 21. The central axis of the I-shaped magnetic core 21 is also the central axis of the entire magnetic core 20, and the magnetic core 20 is symmetric about its central axis. In other embodiments, other specific combination forms that can form a rectangular structure and are symmetric can also be adopted.
[0018] Furthermore, the magnetic core 20 is made of metal magnetic powder, which has advantages over the manganese-zinc ferrite used in traditional solutions under high load conditions. The magnetic core 20 also eliminates the chamfered feature on the outer surface of traditional TLVR inductor cores, with any two intersecting outer walls forming an edge, thus reducing the difficulty of pressing and shaping the metal magnetic powder core during manufacturing.
[0019] Both pairs of windings 10 are wound on the magnetic core 20. Specifically, the two pairs of windings 10 pass through two windows 23 respectively, and the two pairs of windings 10 are symmetrically arranged about the central axis of the magnetic core 20. Each pair of windings 10 includes a primary winding 11 and a secondary winding 12, both of which are single-turn copper sheets and pass through the same window 23.
[0020] The outer surfaces of the magnetic core 20, primary winding 11, and secondary winding 12 are all covered with an insulating layer. Preferably, an insulating coating can be sprayed to form an insulating coating, which enhances the insulation capability of the inductor and can withstand higher input voltages compared with traditional technologies.
[0021] The above describes one or more embodiments of this utility model in a relatively specific and detailed manner, but it should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model patent should be determined by the appended claims.
